Who Is Ana Mendieta?

Ana Mendieta was a Cuban American artist know for her "Earth Body" works, who died in 1985 when she fell out our 34th floor apartment window in Greenwich Village. Although her husband was charged with her murder, he was eventually acquitted, and a mystery remains around her death.

This graphic rendering of Mendieta's story, from her being sent to the US from Cuba by her parents to her death, is necessarily simplified. The artwork by the artist is explicit, in keeping with Mendieta's themes. Despite it being more explicit than perhaps I care for, and a bit 'busy', I enjoyed this introduction to Mendieta's life, though I had to read it through twice to really digest it.
